Genesis House

Genesis House, an arm of Freedom Foundation, is a female Residential Rehabilitation and Resource Centre in Lagos. It was established in 2006, with the mandate to transform the lives of ex-commercial sex workers. We have since over the years, expanded the program to support other vulnerable young women within the ages of 18-25 years old, who have been sexually abused, exploited and trafficked.

Sexual exploitation and trafficking of young girls / women is an alarming and growing trend in Nigeria, that cuts across every ethnic, religious, age and socioeconomic group and carries devastating social, emotional and economic consequences through its impact on health, educational attainment and crime.

At the Genesis House, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, the program is tailored to deliver client-specific solutions in an intensively therapeutic and highly supportive environment that provides physical, emotional and vocational support that they need to get their lives back on track.
